5. Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your macerator pump. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified plumber.
5.1. Placement
Position the macerator pump on a stable, level surface near the fixtures it will serve. Ensure there is sufficient access for future maintenance. The pump should be installed in a location where it is protected from direct water spray and freezing temperatures.
5.2. Connecting Inlets
The POXURIO Macerator Pump features 4 water inlets (Ø40mm Ext) allowing connection of up to four bathroom sewage discharge devices. These can include a toilet, wash basin, washing machine, or bathtub. Use appropriate plumbing fittings and ensure all connections are sealed securely to prevent leaks.

5.3. Connecting Outlets
The pump is equipped with 2 outlets (Ø25/32/40/48mm Ext) to provide flexibility for various discharge pipe sizes. Connect the discharge pipe to the pump's outlet, ensuring a proper slope for horizontal runs (minimum 1% or 1/8 inch per foot) to facilitate flow. The discharge pipe should lead to the main sewer line or an approved drainage system.
5.4. Electrical Connection
Connect the pump to a dedicated 110V, 60Hz grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for added safety, especially in damp environments like basements.
6. Operation
The POXURIO Macerator Pump operates automatically. Once properly installed and connected to power, it will activate when wastewater enters the unit, macerating solids and pumping the liquid to the discharge point. The pump is designed for low noise operation, with a typical noise level of only 45 dB, minimizing disturbance during use.
- Ensure all connected fixtures (toilet, sink, etc.) are functioning correctly and draining into the pump.
- Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items such as wet wipes, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, or excessive amounts of toilet paper, as these can clog the macerating blades and damage the pump.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the long-term performance and efficiency of your macerator pump.
7.1. General Cleaning
Periodically clean the exterior of the pump with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. For internal cleaning, specialized macerator pump cleaning solutions can be used following the product's instructions. Always disconnect power before cleaning.
7.2. Ventilation System
The pump includes a ventilation port. This vent can be used with the included activated carbon filter to effectively remove odors, or it can be connected to your home's ventilation duct system for improved air quality in the bathroom or utility area.
